Warrants a trip down to WH Smith’s to buy a new bookmark that. You defo got a bye drawing ****in Granada though
First one I remember was 1968 and Jeff Astle winning it for West Brom. Next year was heartbreak as we lost 1-0 to Man City (Neil Young - fine Citeh team tbf) and also got relegated - silver lining was that some season tickets were freed up as a result and we started going in the 1969/70 season which carried on until the old man died in '79.
Not sure it is 'better' ... but if you took Kante's case it did demonstrate his individual impact on the 2 clubs concerned ... Nicky Butt won plenty with United... but would he have improved your closest rivals in that era?
Slavia will be tough... they are right cheating bastards and dirty batards to boot ... doubt Xhaka will see a full 90 mins without a red
yeah it will be a tough tie. They’ve dispatched you and Rangers. Slightly easier than the Utd, Roma, Ajax route. But we’ll have to be at our best to progress.
Don't underestimate their dark arts ... they got Iheanacho booked and banned for the second leg against us by instigating and feigning contact that made it look like he had flailed an arm... all within 30 seconds of him coming on as a sub ... coincidence? Mind you, they could well get thrown out as there is a right furore happening about the 'possible' rascism against Rangers ... you might end up getting a bye like United, after all
Kante wen Kante went to Chelsea bruv. Not to Burnley. Mahrez went to city bruv. Not Newcastle. Anything they've won with those two are about as meaningless as you can get.
Where had Chelsea finished the previous season bruv? ... I'll wait. Admittedly, not as bad as 'Pool who finished 21 points adrift of the title winners in that same season, mind.
So you sayin Kante transformed the chavs Yeh? Nothing to with them all downing tools that year. K Cant wait to hear how marheez has taken city to New heights
